Self-Assessment

Is It Your Thyroid?

Now that you know my story, you might be starting to suspect that the symptoms you’ve been experiencing — and thought were random — probably aren’t. So it’s time to look at your experience.

This is your moment to be completely honest. You don’t have to downplay your symptoms to keep someone in a white coat comfortable, or sugarcoat your struggles because you’re afraid of being labeled dramatic.

This questionnaire will help you begin to connect the dots between your symptoms and your personal history, and determine whether your thyroid may be to blame. But this is only a first step — no matter your result, keep reading to learn more about thyroid health and the many options that can help you get back to feeling your best.

Why your score matters

Your score is not just a number; it’s a reflection of how well your body is functioning and what it is trying to tell you. Whether your score is low, moderate, or high, your thyroid is at the core of your metabolism, energy, and overall well-being.

The modules ahead will not only teach you how to understand your thyroid better, but also reveal the exact steps you can take to transform your health. You’ll learn how to ask for the right lab tests, interpret your results, and implement strategies for true healing.
